## Key points

- Hellraiser: Revival is performing extremely well, according to Saber’s CEO.
- Karch says mid-budget games can bring lower risk and stronger returns.
- He sees established IPs and controlled costs as a path to industry growth.

## Summary

Saber Interactive chief executive Matthew Karch says the mid-budget horror game Hellraiser: Revival is performing extremely well on PC and consoles. He argues that games built around established franchises with controlled budgets can deliver strong results, and that a greater focus on such titles could help the industry sustain growth.

Karch says double-A games can offer lower financial risk and better average returns than costly triple-A productions, while still providing immersive experiences. The article contrasts this with examples including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, reportedly made for about $50 million, and Marvel’s Wolverine, whose budget is unknown but is expected to be far higher. Saber’s other success, Space Marine 2, is also cited as evidence that major budgets are not always necessary.
